The ruling on reciting Surat al-Baqarah in full for a sick person

Question:
Some of those who perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) order the patient, O Shaykh, to recite Surat al-Baqarah in full in one sitting, while others say there is no evidence specifying that. Is there anything in reciting Surat al-Baqarah in full for a sick person?

Answer:
There is no basis for this; there is no basis for reciting Surat al-Baqarah in its entirety. This is burdensome, and no evidence has come regarding it. What is recited for the sick person are the three surahs: Surat al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, and al-Nas. Surat al-Fatihah is recited for him, and he is protected with the permissible forms of seeking protection. This is among the greatest causes of healing, by the permission of Allah. As for reciting Surat al-Baqarah in its entirety, no evidence has come that it is recited for the sick person. What has come is that the Shaytan flees from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited. Yes.
